US 4,069,913 A · Surgical glove package and fixture

Abstract

A package for a surgical or similar glove includes a resilient glove having a wrist portion and a hand portion. The wrist portion of the glove is releasably fastened around a glove ring member, with the hand portion of the glove extending from the ring member. An outer, imperforate, flexible member encloses the surgical glove. In a preferred form, the wrist portion of the glove extends through the ring member and is folded over and stretched around the ring member. The outer protective member also extends through the ring member and passes between the stretched wrist portion and the ring member. The outer protective member has a length such that downward movement of the hand after insertion into the glove will cause the glove to push against the bottom of the outer flexible member and thereby cause it to pull the stretched wrist portion of the glove off the ring member.
